Most CEOs dream of a successful exit – Charles Pratt lived it… and chose to stay. In a recent episode of the @CriticalFewActions™ podcast, CEO Charles Pratt sat down with John Downes to share the inside story of how he helped lead Kinder Australia through a transformative private equity acquisition.

This wasn’t just about selling a business. For Charles – it was about doubling down on growth.  About building on decades of success and accelerating what’s next.

Kinder Australia marks 40 years of progress – from a small operation in Moorabbin to a globally recognised leader in engineered bulk materials handling solutions.  Founded in 1985 by Neil and Christine Kinder, the company has grown into a trusted partner for industries worldwide, providing innovative, sustainable solutions across mining, quarrying, agriculture, energy, and more.

Under the leadership of CEO Charles Pratt, Kinder continues to evolve, delivering performance-driven solutions that meet the needs of customers in an ever-changing world.
